we have constantly said that we do not consider these foolish groups – who confront the Islamic Republic in the name of Salafism, takfiri and Islam – to be our main enemy.

We consider you to be the deceived. We have said to these people: “If you stretch your hand against me to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against you to slay you: for I fear Allah, the Cherisher of the worlds” [The Holy Quran, 5: 28]. If you make a mistake and if you prepare yourself to kill your Muslim brothers, we do not consider you to be so important that we try to kill you.

Of course, we defend ourselves. Anyone who attacks us will face our firm fist. This is natural, but we believe that these people are not our main enemies. They have been deceived.
